HANLON's HIPPODRoME.
The Race With Gaudaur in the West
Disgusting Fizzle.

DI5B u5DIIIB T I1AI6.
PULLMAN, ILL, July 23.-Probably the
greatest tizzle of a boat race ever rowed in
the West was the one here this afternoon, in
which Edward Hanlon nominally defeated
Jacob Gaudaur. 1t had been announced
that the contest would be for the cham
pionship Of America, $1,000 a side, and
to each of the participants a slice of
expected that the result would definitely
decide whether Hanley whom many people
still believed the worlds greatest oarsman,
had virtually closed his career Hanlon won
in 20:32. Gaudaur's hacker acknowledges that
he told his man to lose the race and he did
so by getting quarter of a mile out of the
track. The race was rowed after dark, and
when Hanlon finished Gaudaur could not be
seen from the stand.

The Last Bond Call

The Secretary of the Treasury issued
on Friday last cal for the redemp
ton Of three per cent. bonds to the a.
mount of Sl9,7l7, 500 being the last of
the three per cents. issued under tho
act of July IL, 1882. The principle and
Interest OF these bonds become due un.
der the call July /, 1887, and interest
will cease from that date. These are
not only the last of the three per
cents, but the last of all the bonds of
the United States, subject tn payment
at par at the discretion of the govern
ment. Secretary Manning, in his last
annual report predicted that those
bonds would all be paid by October of
the present year The government
revenues have exceeded his expecta-
tion and his prophecy is anticipated by
three months.
This call compels the country to face
perplexing question regarding
its financial affairs. Secretary Sher.
man, during the Hayes administration,
undertook TO take advantage of the
growing Improvement in the financial
affairs of the country and fund the
bonded debt at lower rate of interest
He succeeded in doing 80, buG miscal-
culated as to the debt paying capacity
OF the country under existing laws and
made the new bonds redeemable too
far in the future. The first bonds
available for redemption after the paw.
ment of those called on Friday are the
s25O,OOO,O00 of four and half per
cents which become due in 1891. The
next are the $738,000,0OO of four per
cents, which are not due until 1907.
Had Secretary Sherman's FORESIGHT
been as good as his hindsight he would
doubtless have made these loans avail.
able for payment a great deal earlier,
even though compelled TO pay higher
rate of interest.
The well intentioned mistake was
made, however, and now the country
is confronted with the alternative OF
reducing its taxes very materially, OF
OF seeing an annual surplus of not less
than Sl25,000,000 accumulate in the
Treasury during the three and a hall
years intervening between this and
1891. If the more than s4OO,OOO,OOC
which would thus be Withdrawn from
the business of the country should
cause no serious inconvenience up tc
that time, the trouble would only be
deferred, as the S250,GO0,OOO of -four
and a half per cents could then be paid
off with the accumulated surplus and
leave nearly as much more in the Treas
ury. There would then be a period Of
sixteen years before any more bonds
would become payable, and il would

MARRIAGE LICENSES.

Through the courtesy of Nj. Fritz
we are enabled to print the law relat-
ing to marriage licenses as amended
by the legislature at its recent session.
1t is as follows:
An act to amend section three of an
act entitled "An act relating to mar
riage licenses, providing for officers
herein indicated TO issue licenses for
parties to marry" approved the twenty
third day of June one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-fve.
SECTION /. Be it enacted by the
Senate aud House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
in General Assembly met and it is
hereby enacted by the authority Of the
same: That section three of an act
entitled "An act relating to marriage
licenses providing for officers herein
indicated to issue licenses for parties to
marry" approved the twenty-third day
of June one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-fye which read as follows:
The clerk of said court shall in.
quire of the parties applying for mar.
rage license as aforesaid, on oath OF
affirmation, relative TO the legality of
said contemplated marriage, and il
there be no legal impediment thereto
then he shall grant such marriage
license. And if any Of the persons in
tending to marry by virtue OF said
license shall be under twenty-one years
of age, the consent of their parents OF
guardians shall be personally given be-
fore said clerk, or certified under the
hand of such parent or guardian, at

be simply out Of the question TO with
draw so large an annual sum from cir
culation for that length Of time.
Already the demand is made IN in.
fluential quarters that Congress shall
be called together not later than Octob-
er to consider the surplus question.
With money as plenty az it seems TO
be at present however, the socumluations
of siIty days will not be likely to prove
serious. Whether it meets in October
or December the present Congress will
be compelled to deal with the question
and the conflict between the free trad
ers, who want customs duties reduced
to the lowest possible level, and the
protectionists, who want them retained,
will doubtless be intense and exciting.
The surplus will likewise be CONSTANT

Of extrsvsgant pension, river and har-
Dor and public building schemes. 1t is
very evident that the situation is one
calling for the exercise Of the highest

HIGH LICENSE.

There are in Columbia county forty
hotels and twenty-three restaurants.
Under the old law hotels paid license
fee of fifty dollars and restaurants
twenty dollars, all of which went to
the state. Under the new law hotels
in boroughs pay license fee of $50,
of which the borough receives three
fifths, or 800, the state one-fifth and
the county one-ffth, or $50 each. There
are four hotels in Bloomsbury, and
from these the town will receive $3.50,
and the county S120. Berwick has
three hotels, and will get s27O, and
the county 800. Centralis has three
hotels, and it will get S270, and the
county 800. Bloomsburg has three
restaurants, from which it will receive
S27O, and the county 800. Berwick
has three and will get the same, and
the county 800. Centralia has seven
and will get $3.50, and the county $21O.
There are thirty hotels in the townships
where the fee is S75, of which the
county gets one fourth. These will
pay the county S5625O. There are
thirteen restaurants in the townships
that will pay the county s243.75. The
townships receive one half Of the
license fee, TO be applied to keeping
roads in repair. From this it will be
seen that Bloomsbury will receive from
licenses the sum of $500, Berwick S54O
Centralia, 5000. From all the licenses
the county will get $1,496.25. This
estimate is made on the present number
of licenses. The new law may reduce
the number.

The general interest in Queen Vic
toria's "jubilee" will increase the fervor
with which the loyal Briton always
celebrates the Queens birthday. She
will have been upon the throne fifty
years next June, and yet, remarkable
as this long reign has been, Victoria is
not a very old woman. She is now 6S
or Just the age of Elizabeth at the
death OF Essex. Elizabeth lived to be
70, but her eyentfal and glorious reign
was two years short of the half century
which her distant successor reasonably
expects to attain. While Victoria has
reigned she has not ruled, in the sense
in which Elizabeth ruled. The business
of Queen is less exciting IN these
days, and her peaceful domestic life
has also, no doubt had much to do
with the prolonging of her days. When
it is remembered that Gladstone is ten
years older than the Queen and that
the Emperor William has turned 90,
both of these old men having put a
good deal more hard work into their
lives. it appears unlikely that the Prince
of Wales may have some years more to
wait. He is already past the age at
which he can hope to enter upon a
very long reign.
